The Disability Justice Project 
We’ve partnered with disabled filmmakers globally to document how climate change is impacting people with disabilities in their communities. This is Part 2 of our story about Pranav Sethi, a 34-year-old autistic disaster risk reduction professional from India.
For Sethi, daily life is about survival rather than truly living – an experience magnified by the slow, relentless impact of climate change. From worsening air pollution during Delhi’s winters to the rising frequency of natural disasters, the signs are clear. Yet, many remain unaware or unable to act, overwhelmed by immediate struggles like food and shelter. “This should never be considered normal,” Sethi says. “People have started accepting extreme pollution and disasters as just another part of life, but that was never the case 20 or 25 years ago.”
People with disabilities are disproportionately affected by climate change but are often overlooked in disaster preparedness and response. Sethi and others are advocating for immediate and inclusive action to ensure no one is left behind.
